A Jeopardy! contestant confused Paige Bueckers for Caitlin Clark in epic gaffe
However, this contestant on Wednesday night's episode of Jeopardy! completely whiffed on identifying Bueckers during a description of her career at UConn.
The contestant in question heard a pretty clear description of Bueckers with a photo to support it from host Ken Jennings, only to buzz in and guess that the prompt was describing Clark.
Yes, this Jeopardy! contestant confused Bueckers for Clark.
It's not that the contestant got the question wrong; it's that the contestant knew who Clark was and still guessed her after hearing a description and seeing a photo of Bueckers. Consider us pretty baffled.
Well, maybe this Jeopardy! contestant will brush up on his WNBA superstars before competing on the show again.
